ROWERS - SAFETY
Concerned about safety on the water? So are we. Rowing is a safe sport but, as with any physical activity, accidents can happen. The sport does not lend itself to wearing a life jacket while rowing but our coaches carry life jackets in their launches at all times. In addition, in the highly unlikely event that a boat was to swamp, the boat itself serves as an emergency flotation device.
In a test carried out in conjunction with the DC Harbor Patrol, TC Williams Crew in Alexandria VA purposefully swamped a shell to demonstrate how well a racing shell and oars can perform in a swamping situation.
